300,000 Dead: The Stories Of Those We Lost To Coronavirus

MASSACHUSETTS — Judith Pizzo's family misses her every day. The 71-year-old from Woburn was, according to Michelle Bogus, the type of person who always put the needs of others first.

She is just one of the more than 300,000 Americans who have lost their lives to coronavirus. She's also one of the more than 11,000 Massachusetts residents that have lost their lives to the coronavirus since the state's first coronavirus death was reported on March 20. It's an impossible number, but those who died were more than a statistic. We lost mothers, brothers, children and friends.

We all lost some of our heroes.

In light of the devastating milestone, Patch is working to help you share the triumphs, trials, and accomplishments of those you lost. We want to help you share their stories.

Do you want to pay tribute to a friend or loved one lost to the coronavirus? Share their story here.

We also hope this allows their neighbors to know them better. Below is a virtual memorial created by Patch and compiled through tributes submitted directly from loved ones. You can read them all, or search by town and state.
